[QUOTE="Katie Kerr, post: 2390787, member: 541764"] Wow!! I am very jealous, I don't think I've ever been above 95% for more than 2 days! I have so many questions haha. Do you always take your insulin 15 minutes before food? I have found mixed results with this. Also - do you find that there is a spike (even a small one) immediately after eating food which comes back down to a normal range, or have you managed to keep it flat throughout? Finally, do you pretty much eat the same foods / have a strict routine, or are you able to be flexible? Congrats on having such good control!! I actually didn't even think this was possible. My slightly terrible GP (who I speak to when I can't get through to the diabetes care team) had called me a 'perfectionist' for wanting to improve on my 70% in target, so it's great to know it's doable. It sounds like from everyone's feedback that the 15g of carbs without insulin is definitely a myth, I am so pleased I know that now! I kept thinking I needed to increase my background but that was causing hypos. Thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
